Basically I wore them for the first half and then put them back on during the second half whenever I was running into the wind.Pete Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09655789227670205830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2659111169994174275.post-2503383519632498652012-10-08T12:27:23.550-05:002012-10-08T12:27:23.550-05:00The first time I paced someone else during a race,...The first time I paced someone else during a race, it was like 12 degrees out, and I knew I'd be running slower than usual, so I wore like 5 layers. A couple months later, I paced a friend during a half marathon, and should have dressed warmer. I dressed for what I would have worn if I was running at my pace, and I was cold by the end. So, if you're pacing someone else, it's definitely better to dress for the actual temp, not the "feels 20 degrees warmer" temp. <br /><br />Can't wait to see your slide show! And it was great to see you on Saturday, and I love Emily, she is SO sweet!Maggie Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13403171228033713629noreply@blogger.com
